and TRIUMF, 4004 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 2A3 Changes in the meson-nucleon coupling constant and the vertex form factor in nuclear matter are studied in a modified Skyrme Lagrangian including the σ-meson field that satisfies the scale invariance. Renormalization of g A , the axial-vector coupling constant, and the nucleon mass are studied in a consistent model. The results are in good agreement with the empirical evidence. A calculation of the π-N commutator, Σ-term, indicates that the medium changes its magnitude considerably. PACS number(s): 12.39.Dc, 12.39.Fe Key words: Skyrme model, in-medium hadron properties, meson-nucleon coupling constants, vertex form factors, medium renormalization.Recently arguments have been given in favor of the empirical evidence for a scalarisoscalar meson, σ. For example the isosinglet resonance with a mass m σ = 553.3 ± 0.5 MeV 2 The similar second order derivative terms had been suggested in ref [7].
